Last night I watched I Capture the Castle. I’ve been thinking about watching it for a while; I even Netflixed it once but found more compelling things to do so I returned it unwatched. Last Thursday one of the Farr Library reference librarians recorded a book talk about the book which spurred me to try the movie again.

It was a very good movie. If certain Festing members haven’t already seen it, I recommend they watch it. However, through no fault of its own, I didn’t like the movie. I’d say more but I’m afraid it would spoil the movie for some people

To recover from my disappointment with I Capture the Castle, I followed up with Absolute Power. Fortunately, I was in the perfect mood for this movie and enjoyed it immensely.

Today Jaeger and I hiked a 7.5 mile trail. It was snowing a little as we walked but the snow wasn’t too obnoxious and just made our surroundings look a little magical Both Jaeger and I thought that it was too easy for a 7.5 mile hike but Jaeger attributes that to gaining less elevation than we normally do when hiking.
